Description
The Softest Crimson: Cortona
addremove
Built as a farm at the end of the 19th century, this rural home has oodles of charm and Tuscan character. We're swooning over the original terracotta-vaulted ceilings, the exposed cork beams and the huge fireplace, which is the perfect spot to snuggle up with a cup of tea on wintery nights. Every room captures the essence of old-world Tuscany – warm, cosy and pastoral – but there are modern conveniences too, like rainfall showers and a ping-pong table in the garden.
Surrounded by a sea of olive trees and with vistas of the mountains, the garden is utterly enchanting. Start the morning off with an espresso on the outdoor sofa, cool off on sunny afternoons with a swim in the pool, then fire up the stone barbecue and dine under the wisteria-covered pergola on summer evenings.
If you fancy exploring, there are plenty of places to discover. Just down the road is artsy Cortona, an Etruscan town with views across the Chiana Valley. Want to stretch your legs? Lace up your walking shoes and go for a hike through the hilly countryside – there are many scenic outlooks and trails within easy reach. Or really pick up the pace with a visit to Arezzo or Perugia, both about forty-five minutes by car and excellent spots for day trips.
Home truths:
*The two single beds can be linked together to create a double on request – similarly, one of the double beds can be unlinked to create two singles
*The air conditioning is only in the bedrooms
*The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October
*If you're travelling with little ones, a cot and high chair can be provided on request
*You'll need a car here as public transport is scarce – there's parking on-site provided
